HN itself is the biggest bottleneck, IMO. A few days after the thread has been posted, it gets paginated, usually into 3 or 4 pages. Assuming you Cmd+F/Ctrl-F for a couple keywords (remote, state, city), you end up having to do 10+ searches, in addition to weeding out the "no remote" matches. On the same note, it's very hard to keep track of new posts after the first day or two, which means you're searching for "minutes ago" "hours ago" "1 day ago" "2 days ago" etc - again, on 3 or 4 pages.
I know there's one user who maintains a site that lists all of the job postings (forgot the url), but personally I'm not a huge fan of the layout.
- lazyjones 14y agoIndeed, it might be a good idea to have 2/3 separate threads for US/Europe/Asia... or US/Rest of the world since postings regarding jobs in Europe are hardly visible at all.
- jamesjguthrie 14y agoI totally agree with this. I'd much prefer a separate Euro post.
- pknerd 14y agoThere should be a separate section for WhoIsHiring on Main Page ordered by month wise.
- yolesaber 14y agoIt should really be merged into the "Jobs" section. That makes the most sense to me.
- malandrew 14y agoTotally agree. YC companies can still maintain their advantage by having their listings "stickied"/pinned to the top of the page. In fact, this may help YC companies, since knowing that lots of startups are listed on the jobs page should drive a lot more traffic to that part of HN.
- meganelacarte 14y agoAgreed. I'm a recruiter for a YC company and I would love to see a higher level of functionality with a jobs-specific area focused on all startups. We've gotten some of our most talented candidates and employees from HN.
